      Can you afford not to take action to improve

      teacher wellbeing and mental health?

      The cost of absence per year is estimated by the CIPD to be £797 per employee

      for primary schools and £1,328 per employee for secondary schools,

      based on working days lost at an average of 7.4 days.

       

      In a primary school with 50 staff = £39,850 per year

      In a secondary school with 100 staff = £132,280 per year

       

      The Teach Well Toolkit self-delivery programme costs £302 less than the average cost of absence for one teacher per year and £883 less for secondary schools.

       

      By implementing the Teach Well Toolkit, even if you only reduced staff absence by 20%, you would save £7970 in a primary school and £26,456 in a secondary school

      The Cost of Staff Illness...

      Being a Teach Well School makes financial sense.

      Reduce the number of teacher days lost due to absence with stress

      Days lost

      In a primary school with 50 staff, of which 25 are teachers, the average number of working days lost through sickness is 370.

       

      In a secondary school with 150 staff, of which 50 are teachers, the average number of working days lost through sickness is 1110.

      2,025,231 million days were lost to teacher absence through sickness in 2017/18

      Teacher absence

      According to the School Workforce Census, in 2017/18, a total of 2,025,231 million days were lost to teacher absence through sickness, with an average per teacher of those absent through sickness of 7.4 days. 54.4% of all teachers were absent through sickness in 2017/18.

      It costs an average of £200 to provide supply cover for a teacher who is absent through stress

      Cost per day

      £200 in pay per day per member of staff absent.

       

      Add the costs of supply cover and overheads and this figure is at least double.

      What it costs per teacher to cover for teacher absence

      Cost of absence per teacher

      The basic cost of absence in schools is approximately £797 per employee for primary schools and £1328 per employee for secondary schools (based on working days lost at approximately 7.4 according to CiPD Absence Management Survey 2016).

       

      However, in reality, this cost is much higher because it is exclusively based on the salaries of employees on sick leave rather than the cost of temporary supply cover, overheads and indirect costs associated with reduced effectiveness of supply cover on student progress.

      Average costs of teacher absence per school

      Average cost of absence

      In a primary school with 100 staff, of which 50 are teachers, the average total cost of absence to the school for a year is £153,692.31. This is based on using supply cover for 50% of the absences.

       

      In a secondary school with 150 staff, of which 75 are teachers, the average total cost of absence to the school is £310,230.77. This is based on using supply cover for 50% of the absences.

      Reduce your school's spending on staff absence by implementing a culture of staff wellbeing and mental health by implementing the Teach Well Toolkit

      What would you do

      with the money?

      You could cut your school's spending on staff absence by at least 50%.

       

      Reduce workload and stress. Prevent and tackle Burnout. Create a culture of staff wellbeing.

       

      Spend the savings on teaching and learning.

    • Are Teachers at Breaking Point?

      (Radio documentary)

       

      Paige Lampard

      In May 2019, Steve Waters, founder and director of the Teach Well Alliance, was interviewed by Paige Lampard (@PaigeLampard1). Paige was approaching the end of her training as a journalist and was completing her degree by submitting a documentary on the teaching profession as part of her final assessment. Paige was gathering information on the wellbeing and mental health of teachers and sought Steve's opinion of the retention and recruitment crisis in our schools.

       

      This documentary includes views of teachers who Paige also

      interviewed for her project.
